Mother Tongue Section

While the AISV Library collection is primarily in English we also continue to expand our Mother Tongue section. Our Library has resources in Lithuanian, German, French, Russian, Belarussian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Swedish, Norwegian, Estonian, Dutch, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.

Lithuanian Mother Tongue Teachers often collect Lithuanian language books from the AISV Library and based on students' reading levels, creating significant sections of Lithuanian Language books in every classroom. As well as non-native speakers are able to discover the beauty of Lithuanian language pictures and chapter books.
